ENJOYABLE, DELIGHTFUL READING

What a delightful, inbspiring story of a little lady primed to meet her heart's desire! Written in down to earth expressions makes it a good little book for an afternoon's relaxing read. Not a big book, but an inspiring one. Would be wonderful for preteen and teen girls.

If you love Julie, then this is the book for you!

If you are a girl who loves horses, racing, or wants to be a jockey, then this is the book for you! This book doesn't get way deep in the story of Julie's life so the book bores you to death, but it stays on top and basically outlines the goods and bads of Julie's extremely successful life. It is a great book for pictures and information. If you have read this book, or were going to read it, then I suggest you also look into getting Riding For My Life, a biography that goes a little deeper into Julie's heart and soul. I love this book, and I reccomend it to anyone who loves Julie Krone, but when I say that, I might as well be saying That I reccomend this book to everyone!
